Here's the thing with eSATA from what I've found.

Most computer treat eSATA just like SATA, meaning you have to have the drive fully powered on before the machine is turned on. Also, you might have to go into disk management and rescan disks for Windows to find it.

Also, your post is extremely confusing.

Didn't think of that lol thxs

tried to clear it up English is my 3rd language, it can come out weirdly sometimes

you need to make sure you have ahci mode enabled on your board first for best "plug and play" results. sometimes its not always the case either. like DD said sometimes you have to rescan for devices in device manager under windows

Did you make sure to go through your manual to make sure you have the bios option(s) enabled for esata to work. You should'nt need AHCI mode to make it work. To be safe, just shut the power down on the dock/external case before unplugging it.
